They are very bulky, I only use them when I am handling rock. I dont know of anything better.

I saw on ebay actually if you type in aquatic gloves. They have long shoulder length rubber gloves- come many in a package. Seems to me if you double glove it it shouldnt tear, may be a better option if you dont like the bulky gloves you mentioned. Heres a link

I was using those disposal vet gloves for a while, type that comes to the shoulder, something like a box of 100 for 12 bucks.

They're light so they can puncture if handling rock with those vermetid snails.

I have large hands (somewhat like two bunches of bananas) and can get them into the Lee Valley gloves, but they are a tight fit. They are latex rubber, so they will stretch.

^^ Easier to get that monkey off your back with hands that look like bananas

I use these. I think they are the same as the vet gloves mentioned earlier but tagged here for aquarium use with a price tag to match. I bought these because I couldn't find a supplier for the vet gloves. They are a little thin and spring a leak very easily. Here is a link for them below:
